University of Nevada Environment

Do you ever get that feeling that you could have done a little more? Like you could have done a little better or worked a little harder? It's hard to keep the momentum going until that very last moment. I've got one more 7-10 pg paper to write and I'll be free for one long luxurious week. I will begin to catch up on projects which have been temporarily stalled. I will have time to plan events for the fall and summer and prepare for classes beginning again Monday. I hope to make some time to do some long-awaited recycling crafts like work on my scrap quilt or start a mosaics project. I will also make it my goal to read one whole book before classes call dibs on my reading focus again next week. In a few weeks we will be moving 75lbs of worms into their new home and beginning to feed them pre-consumer food residuals from the DC. I am so looking forward to getting them settled in and seeing what they can do. I wonder how this system will be managed over the long term but I am confident that the next group to take over will figure that out without a problem. I am really excited to see what the worms can do with pre-consumer residuals. Will the castings produced by red worms from post consumer waste be comparable to castings produced by pre-consumer waste? In bacteria? In pathogens? In nutrients? I plan to keep working hard on this project, I plan to keep working hard at all the things I do. I wonder if I keep working harder and harder will that feeling of never having done enough ever go away? I think not, I think that's like asking if we'll ever have world peace. There will always be conflict in the world, I just hope we can find a better balance, more peace, much less war.
